Bring the Kids to the Port Arthur Historic Site and experience together the amazing stories of this place – stories that are in many ways the foundation of who we are as Australians. There is plenty to do and to share as a family at Port Arthur.
Our Port Arthur Journey Activity Book is provided free of charge to primary school-aged visitors & their families. It offers enjoyable and educational activities to help children understand and enjoy history as they explore the Site.
Children and adults alike will be fascinated by the hundreds of original artefacts on display in the Museum housed in the Asylum complex.
In the same building, visitors can search the Convict Study Centre database for their own links to Port Arthur’s 19th century inhabitants.
Trentham Cottage on Champ Street offers a variety of first hand experiences to give young visitors an idea of how important archaeology is at Port Arthur.
The Dockyard, our newest display, is a short walk along the waterfront. Through an imposing sculptural piece and intriguing soundscapes children are able to enter the world of the men who worked in one of Port Arthur’s main convict era industries
The Family Activity Program operates during summer holidays. Children and adults can participate in activities and games from the colonial era.
Our three History Plays, performed from Boxing Day through to Australia Day in January, provide rich opportunities for children and their families to engage with characters from Port Arthur’s early days.
Over the summer period for three weeks in January, the Kids’ Dig lets kids be an archaeologist for a day. They will learn how to dig and what to do with what they find.
